the paranoia theory

More recently, the clinical use of the term has been used to describe delusions where the affected person believes they are being persecuted. Specifically, they have been defined as containing two central elements:

The individual thinks that harm is occurring, or is going to occur, to him or her.

The individual thinks that the persecutor has the intention to cause harm.

people who know me very well often say i'm a bit paranoid and i agree with them. i just can't help being so, it makes so much sense.
